Run your dishwasher every night, regardless of how full it is Dishwashers are extremely energy-efficient , and running even a partially full dishwasher does not waste much energy. Put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher throughout the day And have your household members do the same. But I run the dishwasher without fail!

I work on that room until it’s how I like it, and then move on to another room. This also works when you are taking down holiday decorations. I start with my desk area, since that’s where I have to work and I work better with a clean desk area. Don’t expect to work miracles. Keep it Clutter-Free.

Rolls of weatherstripping at the local hardware store are very inexpensive and can do wonders for keeping that cold air in the house, where it belongs. Put it around doors and “loose” windows where air can escape, and keep in mind that the work you do now will help to keep the heat in come winter, too. Run dishwasher only when full.

The paper is pretty inexpensive at around $3 a roll. I use old casual office clothes to work around the house. I have a closet full of work clothes I wore to the office for 20 years, mostly casual slacks and blouses. I won’t run the dishwasher unless it is completely full. Cheap or frugal? Cheap or frugal?

They are fairly inexpensive, especially if your nanny is giving hers away–lol! This worked well, but again, my skillets weren’t that rusty. There are many opinions on what to use to initially season the pan, but I read from many sources that regular Crisco works fine. The Benefits of Cast Iron Skillets.

Growing up in the fifties made me everlastingly grateful for a number of things, such as hot running water, central air conditioning, automatic dishwashers, TV remote control, the internet, personal computers (typewriters really sucked – no backspacing!), Working from home usually meant selling stuff door to door.
